Congressional Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-After the
reading of the Journal the Speaker
stated that the regular order was the
vote upon the adoption of the Confer
ence Report on the Interstate Com
merce bill. Butterworth OF Ohio
asked unanimous consent to have a
separate vote on the fourth section.
He asked to have a separate vote on
the Commissioner feature, but Crisp
of Georgia objected to both requests.
Durham of Illinois moved to recon-
NIT the bill to the Conference Com
mittee, and Crisp raised a point OF
order against that motion. The
Speaker knew OF no rule which au-
thorized the recommittal of a Confer
ence Report, and sustained the point
of order.
House-O'Neill of Pennsylvania in
quired whether there was any parlia-
mentary proceeding by which those
gentlemen who were embarrassed by
having to vote for or against an inn
portant bill, without having an OPP
portunity to divest it of all it's objec-
tionablc features, could not be relieved
OF that embarrassment. But no sug-
gestion to that end was made. A vote
was taken on adopting the Conference
Report, and it was agreed to. Yeas,
